The correct answer here is to ignore local landowners and build the airport. Airports have tremendous benefits to the country and the greater area. I feel badly for the folks who have to take the costs - and I wouldn’t be opposed to some co

You miss my point: the optimizations on ground experience for domestic first class can save you 20-30% of the time because the actual domestic flight time isn’t that long. On a transoceanic flight, to generate similar time-savings, you have

The FAQ page addresses several - not all, that's why I said "look up" - of the OP's objections. OP/you might disagree (it is marketing, like you said) but they should state and explain those disagreements instead of

It's a misleading rhetorical trick to criticize a company primarily focus on trans-oceanic flights by talking about first-class domestic flights.

The existence of business class flights proves this wrong. You are probably right the relative demand for face-to-face has gone down since Concorde but the world has also gotten bigger and richer since. I suspect absolute demand is higher,

Pretty disappointing this is the top (edit: 2nd) comment. It asks and asserts several things that are easy to look up. I'd recommend reading their FAQ page: https://boomsupersonic.com/faq It's certainly not a gua

Yes, it’s totally rational to want to live in a SFH. That’s the beauty of allowing (not requiring) other types of construction: people like me who don’t want to live in a SFH can and people who want to live in a SFH can continue to. I even

This is flatly false. Schiller emailed Sweeney asking for assurances and Sweeney responded with: > Epic and its subsidiaries are acting in good faith and will comply with all terms of current and future agreements with Apple, and we&#x27

Even setting aside the dubious morality of Apple's rules on iOS, I feel like I'm going insane watching Apple be maximally aggressive. The EU loves regulating! There's nothing they love more! It seems supremely unwise to give

I don't think I've seen a single comment along the lines of "I don't like this rule but it would be reasonable for only A100 and H100 equipped instances" (which would be my personal stance FWIW). Instead, it's

I’m disappointed none of the top comments here mention Commerce’s years-long effort to restrict Chinese access to leading-edge GPUs. The origin of this policy is the simple realization that those restrictions are meaningless if an AWS accou

> As bad as 2008? Nobody knows, but it wouldn’t surprise me. The recency of 2008 has really warped people's brains. 2008 was the 2nd worst financial crisis of all time (maybe it would have been the worst if our fiscal and monetary t

Should probably take a stab at answering "does price discriminating boost profits?" before writing something like this. (My anecdotal opinion would be no - airlines price discriminate like crazy and that's a very low-margin b

I remember when we had to do any fancy layout stuff (like a brochure) in school, we had to use Publisher. For most kids, this was very restrictive because their home computers only had the basic office suite but my parents had the upgraded

idk is Bumble a lot better? I don't think it is and now they've added ads that have a timer to skip. The fundamentals of this market makes me think dating apps are destined to be trash.

This is total nonsense. Facebook’s most valuable asset is their data which is why they don’t sell it, they rent access to it. It is much better for Facebook if you have to come to them every time you want to target an ad to a 24-28 year old

I suppose literally anything is legally actionable in the sense you can write anything on a lawsuit and pay the filing fee - but you’d be highly unlikely to come even close to winning on these grounds in the US.
